San Francisco Bay & Sonoma County Coast
Join me for hands-on lessons in crabbing and coastal foraging. Leave with your own fresh catch and unforgettable memories.
View LessonsHi there! I'm Peggy a.k.a. Feminist Fisherwoman from TikTok and Instagram. For years, I've been sharing my passion for sustainable fishing and foraging with my online community. Now, I'm sharing my knowledge offline through my NEW crabbing and foraging lessons (see 'Lessons').
I believe we are incredibly blessed to live in Northern California, yet most folks never get to experience sustainable seafood harvesting, even when it's right in their neighborhood. My lessons empower you to catch your own sustainable seafood meal, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to expand your knowledge. Let's connect with the ocean together!
Foraging classes require a valid California fishing license
Experience urban crabbing at San Francisco's iconic Embarcadero piers.
Forage for purple sea urchin in the beautiful waters of the Sonoma County coast.
The complete foraging experience! Harvest both purple urchin and fresh mussels on the Sonoma County coast.
Yes, children 9 years-old and above can safely attend as long as they can follow instructions.
I will provide all gear and bait. You should bring a bucket or container to take home any catch you wish to keep. For foraging classes, waders are helpful, though not required. Knee high rubber boots will get by fine.
Yes, you will be asked to provide proof prior to class start. We are not fishing or foraging on public piers, hence, we all need individual licenses. You can purchase a single day license for your lesson date or even an annual license if you expect to go out again!
Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot provide transportation. Doing so would limit lesson sizes and drive up lesson costs.
I will show you how to clean your own catch, but I won't clean your entire catch. My goal is to teach you how to be as independent as possible, so you don't have to rely on anyone else again after my lesson!
Absolutely! My lessons are geared towards beginners, including total newbies.
